After celebrating the harvest festival we headed for Belgium. We went with a few friends and had a good time. I am just going to share the experience through a few pictures and just a few words about them. To see the pictures bigger just click on them! We arrived late so the first thing we found was supper-French Fries (they were invented in Belgium after all): . The next morning we started the day of with breakfast and hot chocolate (can’t come to Belgium and not have chocolate). . We then headed out to explore Bruges. First the city square. . Next: French Fry Museum . Then of course chocolate! . We did have waffles too. But I didn’t get any pictures of this. The kids (especially Payton was out of sorts by this point). We did drive to the beach so that we could have a look…it was MUCH to chilly and windy to go in, but it was pretty. Payton didn’t get to go see because he was too grumpy. For our first day with Craig gone on his deployment we headed to Kusel to the Herbstfest (Harvest Festival). We had fun watching the parade and eating yummy food. . . . . No German parade is complete without food and drinks. They were giving out free samples of drinks, luckily they had non-alcholic samples for the kids. Please go to Addy’s page to read about her 1st day of 1st grade. Please go to Paytn’s page to read about his 1st day of kindergarten. Our last city to visit was Venice. For the first time this entire trip we stayed in a hotel! It was lovely. We had a family room that consisted of two rooms, a bathroom and AIR CONDITIONING! This was lovely, especially since it had been over 100 degrees every day of our trip.We ate at a restaurant were we were able to watch them make the pizzas and back them in a wood burning brick oven. The food was DELICIOUS. Craig got a pizza that had egg, tomato and pork on top. It was soooooo good. We finished our trip wandering the “streets” of Venice. We had a wonderful time. The children loved the gondola ride. It was a nice relaxing day…until the car ride home. We drove all the way home that afternoon/evening/night so that we would be back for Addy’s broken finger appointment. |
